Bmi Usa 4360 Brass Nipple 3/8 X 6 Inch Lead Free

Product Description

The BMI USA 4360 is a lead-free brass threaded nipple designed for use in potable water, plumbing distribution, and general pipe assembly applications. Measuring 3/8 inch in diameter and 6 inches in length, this close-tolerance nipple provides a reliable threaded connection between fittings, valves, and pipe sections. Constructed from solid brass with a red finish, it meets lead-free material standards required for drinking water installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, renovation, and repair work across residential and light commercial systems.

This nipple is suited for use in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating assemblies, and general-purpose plumbing applications where a short threaded pipe extension is needed. The 3/8-inch thread size fits standard fittings and valves in that nominal pipe size range. Its lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for use in jurisdictions that enforce lead-free compliance on wetted components in drinking water systems.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets requirements for potable water contact applications
• 6-inch length suits close-quarter pipe extensions and riser connections
• 3/8-inch nominal diameter with standard threaded ends for broad fitting compatibility
• Red finish for quick visual identification in multi-pipe assemblies
• Solid brass material provides corrosion resistance in wet service environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation threaded nipple for standard 3/8-inch plumbing fittings, valves, and couplings in residential and light commercial pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local authority requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or paste rated for the service fluid before making up the joint. Tighten with properly sized pipe wrenches to a snug fit without over-torquing the brass threads.
